Print or Digital? 6 Powerful Reasons To Go Digital
Adult learners live in a highly digital age. Familiar and fluent in digitised platforms for everything from setting their heating times to weekly work meetings, they expect the same from their learning. Teaching, however, is often the last to catch up with advancing technology. From red tape to time constraints, education institutions often lag behind, using printed worksheets, assessment methods and textbooks. We’re planning on changing that. Pen and paper has its place - but for adult education, the next chapter is digital.
With Digital Language Hub, MEC 25, and Pivot English we’re simplifying teaching for practitioners and learners. Here are 6 powerful reasons why adopting digital methods to tuition works for educators, leaders, and corporate training managers.
Simplify your lesson planning and delivery
Planning lessons that meet the diverse needs and interests of your cohort, all while meeting curriculum guidelines, is time consuming. Utilising a digital platform to populate and disseminate your lesson content saves you time to work closely with your students, assessing their unique needs and adapting content to fit them. Put your time where it’s best used!
Start with what you have - and go from there
Adopting a digital platform doesn’t mean you have to reinvent the wheel. Quite the opposite actually -most systems are designed to fit within your existing programme structures.
Evolve and adapt, without the admin
The mark of an excellent educator is being able to adapt and evolve in your content delivery. If students really didn’t gel with a topic - or have struggled to retain information, teachers must change their method. This can be time consuming when everything has been manual. Working digitally with ready-to-use lesson content, though? Much less stressful. With built-in adaptive learning paths , a few clicks can be the difference between a switched-off learner, and one who soars.
Scale your way
Student bases grow. Teaching and learning has to keep up. With a platform designed to expand, high-quality lessons and tracking can be delivered to growing cohorts without compromising on quality of delivery.
Automate progress tracking
With automated progress tracking, teachers and learners can see their efforts paying off in real-time, spotting where gaps are and working quickly to resolve them. Plus, with this all in one place, there’s no need to frantically switch between lesson documentation in one folder, and a spreadsheet saved elsewhere…it’s all in a one stop shop, and can be accessed on any computer with an internet connection.
Designed to fit you - not the other way around
Time constraints are a unanimous issue for educators - but in adult education, it goes for their students, too. Teachers are limited by their time outside the classroom to plan and coordinate their curricula, and in adult education, learners are stretched. Studying may have to fit around a busy work day, family commitments and much more. This is why a digital-first approach to teaching works brilliantly in fitting the needs of everyone involved. Using an online platform to deliver teaching, carry out assessments and track progress means students can learn and progress around their commitments, while educators have one streamlined place to access and deliver everything. Flexibility, for everyone.
Seamless, scalable and designed for all. We’re ready when you are.
